St. Patrick's Old Cathedral, Minor basilica in Nolita, Manhattan, United States.
This Gothic Revival cathedral features stone construction with pointed arches, ribbed vaults, and elaborate stained glass windows designed by Joseph-François Mangin in the early 19th century.
Built between 1809 and 1815, this cathedral served as the original seat of the New York Archdiocese until a devastating fire in 1866 led to extensive reconstruction.
The cathedral gained international recognition as a filming location for several scenes in The Godfather trilogy, particularly the famous baptism sequence in the first film.
Open Monday through Saturday from 8:00 AM to 6:00 PM and Sundays until 8:00 PM, with free admission and multiple daily masses celebrated in English, Spanish, and Chinese.
The adjacent cemetery contains graves dating back to the early 1800s, making it one of the few remaining burial grounds in lower Manhattan.
